This must see property is a real jewel and, at this price, a fantastic opportunity for the right entrepreneur. Local government is currently increasing promotion of rural tourism in this valley/area. Now is the time to get on board if you´re going to make that big step and live the dream.

The home village is a typical Andalusian white village which was painted blue in 2011 for use as a promotional venue for a film launch. Tiny and normally quiet, the village is located in the upper portion of an undeveloped, unspoiled valley in the center of the what's called the Serrania de Ronda (Ronda mountains). It is an ideal location for nature enthusiasts in general with plenty of activities on offer; these include bird watching, wine tasting at the local Ronda vineyards, walking, cycling, landscape paintings, photography, or for those looking to get away from urban life and relax in the countryside. Surrounded by four natural parks, this viallge is only thirty minutes from Ronda, 50 minutes to Malaga's bustling Costa del Sol, 100 minutes to Malaga Airport/Gibraltar/Torremolinos, two hours to Tarifa/Sevilla/Jerez de la Frontera and two and a half hours to Granada/Cordoba/Cadiz. Very central location for many interesting points in Andalusia, not to mention the vineyards of Ronda.
